**Book Review- SEAL's Family Deal by Katie Knight

   

A Navy SEAL protects what’s his.

Two weeks of freedom and a steamy fling with a sexy Navy SEAL is all Princess Cassandra wants from George Ward. As part of the royal family, she knows her obligations—and they don’t involve falling for a man like George, no matter what her heart says.

When a family emergency leaves her as the heir to the throne, she must rush home to take on her new responsibilities—including marrying the suitable man her parents have chosen. There’s no place in that life for George…even when she discovers she’s pregnant with his child. A child that, as per her new husband’s demands, no one can ever know is George’s.

But when Cassandra’s life is in danger, the only one she can trust to protect her—and their child—is her old lover.

George never forgot Cassandra, but he has no desire to be her bodyguard. She’s an aristocrat, and that’s not a world he wants any part of. Until she admits she’s the mother of his secret child—then all bets are off. No one hurts what’s his.

His deep attraction to Cassandra soon reignites, but she is about to take the throne as queen, and he’s just a retired Navy SEAL. Can he ever be anything more than her protector? AMAZON LINK

I was surprised about how much I enjoyed this story. 

It wasn't hard to like both Cassandra and George and the struggles that they faced.  For them, love hadn't been enough.   Duty and sacrifice overrode their relationship.  But it was also something that both of them were well acquainted with.  So when they came face to face again, the pain of that happening was well shown.

Their secret child, Gina also had her moments in the story that add charm and some dangers and have George feeling super protective of her. 

The dangers to Cassandra were well done by some slippery people who wanted to keep the old ways.  But there are a few other people who are all Team Cassandra and as time goes on that becomes clear. 

At one point, I almost wanted to raise my hand and say, "I know a way that you can be together as a family."  *Smile.  But they get there and I enjoyed the ending as well !
